Since childhood I have loved my potatoes roasted. It was heavenly to me. Recently I wanted to try potatoes that are roasted in butter instead of vegetable oil. I have heard that it gives the dish an additional flavour. I also enjoy plain mashed potatoes without any onion or garlic.

I love most any kind of potatoes baked or fried. I especially like the Smashed Taters from our local pizza joint.

It depends on what I would be craving. Of course, the norm would be having them fried, or frying them in onions and tomatoes alongside boiled rice. But healthwise, I would just boil, while adding onions, salt plus a bit of margarine plus a cup of tea. It goes down smoothly.

I absolutely adore potatoes too! There are endless possibilities when it comes to cooking them - from crispy French fries to creamy mashed potatoes, and even cheesy potato gratin. But my favorite is when it's used for Empanada. It's truly a versatile and delicious vegetable!

I think mashed potatoes are my favorite, but I typically just boil them and eat them with butter if I’m making taters.

I like boiled potatoes. But fried potatoes taste the best. French fries, though unhealthy, are my favorite snack. Potato curry tastes good as well. Do sweet potatoes count too? They are literally the best.

As for potatoes, I enjoy them mashed, seasoned with herbs and a hint of garlic. The creaminess and versatility of mashed potatoes make them a comforting side dish.

I love potatoes! Love them baked with sour cream, cheese, and butter. Crispy hash browns..the shredded type with some ketchup are great too. French fries are always good with some ketchup and black pepper. I once made some potatoes where you kind of accordion the potato by slicing thinly but leaving them attached on one side then baked with some garlic butter and finished with some salt and pepper and some cheese and those were delicious.

Well. This depends on the type of potato. As for my sweet potatoes, I love them boiled while I prefer my Irish potatoes fried
